Accuracy Assessment of Aircraft Positioning by Using the DGLONASS Method in the GBAS System

The paper presents the accuracy results of aircraft positioning using the DGLONASS method in the GBAS augmentation system in air transport. In the research test, the coordinates of Cessna 172 aircraft were recovered on the basis of the DGLONASS technique. The calculations were executed in RTKLIB software in RTKPOST library in module “DGPS/DGNSS”. The raw GLONASS data from the onboard Topcon HiperPro receiver and also from the REF1 physical reference station were utilized in the research test. In the paper, the standard deviations of aircraft coordinates and integrity HPL and VPL parameters were presented and described. In the paper, the obtained aircraft coordinates from the DGLONASS method were compared and verified with the DGPS solution. For this purpose, the RMS-3D term and difference of ellipsoidal height of aircraft were estimated in the paper. The average value of RMS-3D equals to 1.71 m, however the difference of ellipsoidal height amounts to 1.46 m, respectively
